Grant helps fund special spay/neuter clinics 

The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) is happy to announce they are a recipient of a 2022 grant from the MA “I’m Animal Friendly” license plate program. Funds will be used towards ARL’s low-cost spay and neuter programs to assist those who need it most.

One of more than two dozen animals who received spay/neuter surgery thanks to the generous MAC grant.

The “I’m Animal Friendly” license plates are a program of the Massachusetts Animal Coalition. Funds are granted annually to organizations that demonstrate a need for funding and provide low-cost spay/neuter services. Through this year MAC has awarded $2,866,000 to many deserving organizations.

The MAC grants are being utilized to provide subsidized spay and neuter surgeries through ARL’s Spay Waggin’ during two special clinic days at the Franklin Park Zoo, which will serve more than two dozen animals.

“The Animal Rescue League of Boston is extremely grateful to the Massachusetts Animal Coalition for awarding these much-needed funds to allow ARL the opportunity to assist pet owners in the Greater Boston area who need it most by providing this important procedure,” stated ARL President and CEO Dr. Edward Schettino.
